New Book/DVD List - May 2006

The list of new books and DVDs added to the Library collection in May has been released.

Please note: The May 2006 list is the final web-based version of this list.

The reason for this is that you can always see our new titles organized by subject and month in our Library Catalog. Just click the link in the green bar near the top that says New Titles.

Also, if we have your NU ID barcode on file in our system, you can place holds on items through the Library Catalog. When viewing an item, just look for the Request Item button and follow the instructions. If you need assistance, please call our Circulation Desk at 286-8020.
